I know it’s a story but I couldn’t understand why the father kept sending the children out instead of going himself
Right!? He should've went first or at least went with the first oldest son...
Madness.
Obsessive,Madness.
Totally Agreed! Or Maybe he was Tired of running from it? 🕯
I think that the author was really saying that the father continued to believe that by ignoring his rising fear .. and continuing to send his children outside… it would somehow make it less real… almost an extreme version of the saying “ in for a penny… in for a pound”
- and of course ur talking about a time in history when the patriarch ruled the house?… so the mother was behaving as an extremely dutiful wife … again… overriding all common sense and natural instinct!?…..
And then finally .. the great grandma… talked about listening to natural instinct in order to be safe from the creature?….
Clever and creepy story … but a lot of imagination and poetic license involved?….
Quite a horrible tale! ♥️
Not gonna lie, after the father sent the second child I began to suspect that the father was either: A - An imposter sending the kids to their death or that B - The Father and the Mother were sending their kids to die to save themselves. Sorta like an offering.
The part about the bell tied to the things tooth was really interesting and the terror of imagining having that thing stare at you all night just waiting for the candle to go out is amazing as it is terrible.
the saddest part about this to me is that they were younger and younger as he sent them out. they knew they were going to die because they watched what happened to their older siblings. mary must have been so scared 😢 poor babies
Kudos to the person who tied the bell to it in their last moments. They must have been thinking of someone else, trying to save them. That’s the epitome of selfless. It’s also really the only way of knowing when it came back around as everyone near it is silenced and it was even more dangerous before the sort of warning bell
This story was kinda scary but it was more frightening hearing the father issue the same command to all his children 1 by 1i think! Also the way that the mother doesn’t take her own action to try & save them until there’s only 1 child left was crazy! I can’t imagine any mother behaving that way. Of course it was perfectly narrated as usual. Thanks Stephen.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😎🇦🇺✌️
There are “mothers” that sell their own children and do worse things, but I suppose monster is more fitting a term for them
@@jonathanz.9675 yes. Sadly that’s true. & even worse is the fact that they get sold even as babies to awful people who have no souls seemingly.😢✌️
@@jackalina91 yeah. Glad people like you aren’t like that
This story is some great allegory about human nature. How much we'll sacrifice to deny our own mistakes.
Yes! The sunk cost fallacy!
Yes! Absolutely.
Yep
This story irritated me...until you said this . And yall know what this is too true
Whats scares me more is not the monster but the dad that refuse to admit hes wrong
Sounds like my dad.
Mom: "Honey, we got only 3 more kids and 2 candles left..."
Dad: "It's a shame then, the last one it's going blind into the night."
🤣
This is a really good creepypasta, I'm super glad grandma didn't describe the monster. The best creepy pastas never do.
All I know is it's big enough that a whole bell can be tied around one tooth. And now I won't sleep
@@viddergrapho8488 just keep your lights on friend♡
Grandma did describe the monster, it was her father, while sac'ing her siblings on her birthday....
@@novalong ah yes, my favorite type of monster... far above any snarling beast♡
@@shineyluna1268 I'll take the snarling beast, lol, or the story about the monster that hid in the cabin with the hiker because there was something worse outside all night. Sorry, but this story was the worst, I can't get past the father & mother enabled behaviors.
The suspense ones are always the most scary. I can't believe that father, though. I guess that is what makes it evil, too. Not the scary thing in the dark, but the father willing to sacrifice his children. Even if he didn't know what was going on, after the first kid disappeared, he should have been the first one out the door with his weapon like any normal father in the country at that time would have, not sending the rest of his kids into danger. And the mother should have made the father go, too, or gone sooner herself.
I'm glad I waited until the end of the story to make s comment because I was ready to tear this one to shreds because of the behavior of the father and mother I'm glad the author was self aware it's really refreshing to hear a story where the characters aren't just stupid for the sake of the plot the author put in the work and earned the rite to make the father irrational and I love that the entity wasn't described it let's our imagination create a monster more terrifying than any story can make this really reminds me of the old mid 2000s and 20 teens creepypastas
Yeah for sure. This was very clever. I definitely got the feeling that this was someone who grew up with creepypasta during the same time and is now as a parent writing out parental fears. Very very clever
yoo its leo here i just wanted to say im very proud of you for making it this far with making videos, happy you hit 200k :)
hey thank you Leo! I appreciate that!
Such a nice & wholesome comment/compliment... i like it here, feels safe 🤗🙂
HERE. A. SINGSONGWICH=MORE INTERRESTING. THAN. SINCE??!2004...?!!!!!(WAVE TANK-- bells tolls. ...
If not. Thruth. Yu get. 100€/£$$. From me !!!!!!
A peculiar kind of madness is literally my favorite creepypasta of all time. I'm so glad you guys did this.
This is a testament to how people will turn a blind eye to something nefarious for as long as they can or until it affects them personally
What in the world is wrong with this dad? He obviously knew something since he lied about the wind so his kids wouldn't worry. He sent out the eldest son first which makes sense, but when he didn't come back, the dad should've gone. If he was totally shook by fear, why would he send the young kids out at night? If the mom didn't know anything was wrong until the end, why did she lock the door? And if they locked the door, why did they then send out another kid?
It makes the dad look really despicable and reprehensible, like he intentionally killed his kids. He wasn't frozen in inaction by fear. He kept sending them. If he was so afraid, why did he run out himself after his wife? As a parent, and knowing other parents, I don't get that. The urge to protect your kids is like primal instinct. If he was just a coward, I would picture him locking the door after he sent out the eldest, realized something bad happened, and huddling in fear with his remaining family, or at least played it off like "They're probably just fooling around. When they get back we'll unlock the door"
No seriously the dad was absolutely awful
was thinking exactly this. those are two shittiest parents
Not unusual for rural parents, it’s difficult to get them off their butts to do anything, instead make the slaves errr kids do it
I'm not even to the end yet and I had to come looking for a comment about the dad. SMH The "it's just a game" line" made me so mad. The dad was a hot horrible mess.
Dad was straight up puhh-see
I was worried that this was gonna be a boring supernatural story, but DAMN that was a great plot-twist at the end, its not a boring supernatural bell!.
Well, it was a supernatural monster who can blot out all sound and wind in its vicinity, and is stopped by the magic of candlelight.
What horrid parents. "It's just a game." This was an interesting story, but I wish there had been some indicator of why the dad absolutely refused to accept that something was wrong. Think I would have been annoyed with my grandma for refusing to tell me what she saw.
What an excellent tale and what an excellent narrator. I was like saying ‘Don’t send them out’ louder and louder each time they did. Your narration made me feel fear each time that bell was mentioned or rang. Thanks for this. x
People around me probably think Im having a mental moment! Here i am getting mad at the father and yelling at him to go out there himself if it's " just a game"!
Bruh the parents must know something was up. After the second kid vanished it should have told them enough. If your kids keep disappearing, you don't send more of them out there, you stop and either investigate yourself or keep everyone inside and ignore it
What a great story! So original-I've never heard one like this and it really had me scared.
Same it’s so great
That was a GREAT story, but I would have loved for it to continue a bit longer.
So happy you have posted a new video,
I really miss the longer ones, I listen to at night, your soothing voice melts away my stress and anxiety. 💞
I do the same thing. 😉
same.
I love your narration Lighthouse! The variety in stories is also excellent in my humble Australian opinion. 🖤
I gotta say that one was really freaky! I love it! Thank you for all your wonderful narrations. I always get excited when I see a new Lighthouse Horror story☺️
Hell's Bells!
Angus? Is that you? 😂😭💀
They gonna getcha!
And congratulations.....200k! You're awesome, truly love the stories that you narrate and appreciate all of your hard work so we can enjoy them. Much love 💋
This story was amazing. Very well narrated. It had a great moral to it also. Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend 💖 🌟
I was completely and utterly wrapped up in this story from start to finish! Hats of to you and the author! This will definitely be listened to again when I get up tomorrow! Great Work!
Great story!! That father was in some serious denial 😂
Iowa is often overlooked for horror, but man. Some of my scariest memories happened there
Very different very interesting. It's almost like you can hear the level of the father's Madness going up as our reader goes on. I knew he had to realize at least part of the way through if not half of the way through that his children were not coming back and something was wrong! Wow like they say you there are times when you can be right or you can be happy and I think this is one where he should have cut his losses right away and protected his family LOL love the story though love the creepiness and love that the grandmother actually tells him the whole story. She's funny though she tells him the whole story and then says a boy your age shouldn't know certain things exist and you already pretty much brought him all the way to the point where it's time to tell him what's up and then that's how you're just going to end it? LOL I'm so glad that she at least went on.
You have one of the best creepy pasta channels on TH-cam. I'm so glad that I found your channel. Keep up your awesome work and your channel will have 1 million subscribers soon.
I live in Iowa. But I would have asked again about what she saw. I'll decide what I need to know exists.
Granny already said quite a bit sh might as well tell me everything.
Father was a coward. Great narration🐺
Amazing narration as always, my friend. I love the way you voice different characters. Natural born actor!
Very deep. Great grandma's dad would have made a great politician had he lived.
Thanks for uploading this, I remember hearing this story years ago when I first got into creepy pasta but couldn’t find it after. it’s one of my favorites
Dang. I got all caught up in that one. I'm wide awake instead of falling asleep for a change. Great job.
Well that sent shivers throughout my body, amazing story! Wonderful reading, thanks for reading it and sharing it with us
Seems like the parents knew what was going on and cowardly sending the children out as a sacrifice
Light house horror never fails to bring us all great content! Thank you very much.
Worst parents ever.
This one left me awake at night but was so thrilling! Keep up the great work!
Man, the dad in this story was a huge douch-nozzle
Well, this story had some interesting details in it, a few that remind me of things that I saw or heard as a young boy, I appreciate it when an author makes an effort to give the setting some color. I remember when my grandmother had her 98th birthday, she was a Swedish immigrant, and was still telling dry jokes. But my Grandpa Fawkes grew up on a farm in Iowa, and he lived to be 99, he had some good stories, too. It's amazing to think of just how long ago it was that he died, he was born in 1901.
Edited by typos, damnit.
worst parents ever! the dad sent them out and the mom just stood there and let it happen. so sad
Stephen, my friend that was insanely good!
You are AMAZING! Thank you, my friend fir the video! 🔥👊😄💯
These types of stories are why I fell in love with this genre. It was fantastic. I love the original title of this story but to be hours your videos title drew me in. Thank you for reading this.
Hey lighthouse.... bravo buddy on another well done narration... you really know how to emote fear in your voice... and it translates to your audience perfectly......keep up the fantastic work.. and congrats on 200k... I'll see you at 400k buddy!
That was a great story! I really enjoyed the narration.
What I’m getting from this story, is that the father knew what was going on, but the mother didn’t catch on until it was to late.
Always well read and interesting. Thank you for sharing again! :)
What worthless parents, particularly the father. Fantastic story though, of course!
So I just lost my great grandma a year ago next month and I miss her with all my heart, but I'd she had told me some ish like this before she passed, I wouldn't let her die til she told me wtf she saw...that's just me tho
I love your narration and I always use your videos to help me get some sleep so thank you for all the videos you've done
Wow that was the fastest I've heard a story complete. Amazing as always
I've heard this before, my favorite. You, of course, made it better than ever! Still loving your channel! :)
In the darkness of inflation/war/recession... this was horrifying
Very cool and creepy story! Thanks Lighthouse 👍 ❤
Oh Stephen, this story is so tragic and sad. Thanks for the lovely narration
You are the best man!! Keep posting we love you!
I just love the way you tell stories!!
Needed this! Thx
I fell asleep to this story when it first came out. I’m so glad I doubled back to it on my commute. It was so good!
Lighthouse reads Matt Dymerski! Perfect ending to this long week! Thank you!
Great story and narration! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.
Watching beautiful night sky , stars and the moon 🌙 in the background and listening to you tell the story is vary relaxing thank you Lighthouse
Hmmmm.. the more I hear the dad repeating himself... It sounds like he intentionally was sending them out TO disappear one by one 😳
another great narration by the best channel on the platform. and, over 230k subs, that is so awesome. thank you for making that many lives more enjoyable.
What the hell was in the other room? And why’s the bell shiny? It sounds like she had electricity so, is the house fortified ? Where the gun and shells great grandpa had ? Left us hanging …
Yeah i didn't really like this one, also the ending was a bit lame
You'd have to remember that she's a 'great grandmother' so she's probably came from a time where electricity aren't available for the masses let alone a farm in the middle of nowhere,I have a headcannon that the great grandmother polished the bell for safe keeping and memory,the gun and shells probably is in another part of the house and as you know the 'Father' ran to get the Mother in a haste and adrenaline made the father not thinking wisely.
I've seen all the other comments about the father sending his children instead of just going himself, I would like to clarify something. This is fairly normal, and one of the only reasons farmers and country folk have children. You often see them with 10 or so children(like my family) for the main reason that they're getting old, and want someone to atleast help with, if not do the work. The father was probably decently old at this point, and he likely couldn't fend off what could've been out there, with or without gun. He isn't what would be considered a heartless monster, just a frail old man who likely felt he couldn't do any better than his children.
This one was great!! Thank you!!
I was convinced both parents knew they were doing this on purpose. But the mom changed later on. The dad was shady. He knew what was going on. He didn’t want to believe it. So do parents get possessed? is this why the grandma tells her grandchild it’s for the kids only to know this secret?
,
Great story. Absolutely deplorable parents lol...
Hello fellow listeners. Happy Friday!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Awesome performance awesome story. L. H fan for life!! See y'all on Patreon!! They deserve it!
Wonderful as ever dear friend
Edit: Imma needin some Brandy after this episode. Whew well done Stephen
Fear will tell you to put the candle out but you keep it lit powerful words from granny
Happy Friday LHH. I've been waiting on you. 😁
Monster be like ding ding, can i get some food?
Wifi password? In the middle of nowhere? Lol damn sasquatch stealing internet.
Much have starlink.
That's was scary to hear bell rang in the middle of the night , i only hear bell rang at Sunday morning , i miss listening Lighthouse Horror stories almost 3 weeks because visiting mom that live near mount Kinabalu no reception there , thank you again for the thrill . ; )
A superb story of unhinged madness. You know it's wrong but you can't seem to stop yourself. 10/10 loved it!
Enjoyed this story!!!
This was an amazing story that had me stopping my game (ScrabbleGo) and just *listening*
Bravo!!
Really enjoyed this story. Very original I haven't heard this type of story before.
That was great story! Thanks
That man would rather send his children to die than admit he’s wrong and that something took his children because of him.
How can all but one of your children vanish and you stay in denial? After the twice is a coincidence but three is a pattern. He killed them for his own peace of mind.
It’s interesting how the father did that because he clearly couldn’t come to terms with the fact that he made a mistake that maybe killed his kids. His brain couldn’t handle the idea.
all these commenters complaining about the dad have never seen any piece of media from the 30s-50s. man of the house, the father, issuing commands to sons was the norm. it only got weird when the daughters started to go
I love me some lighthouse horror stories
How stupid could an adult be to do children this a way ! Lost all their damn children bc of their own pig headedness ! Oh that just makes me so mad 😠😡😤 They should have taken their own lazy asses out there themselves! But HOLY COW THAT WAS A GOOD ONE !!!😳
WOW! Incredible story.
Awesome, my favorite narrator! 🙂
Now there's a demonstration of the sunk cost fallacy. 😁
After child number two I suspected these two either 1. Are ducking morons 2. Really hate their children 3. Are sacrificing them to safe themselves
This was a great one!

Excellent story Stephen, absolutely excellant. The metaphors were carried high but still not enough to turn the tale into a parable. I almost feel like this should have a lore to it, like a Krampus and a whole history of genre based tales that support it. Whoever came up with this knows their horror very well, I hope they know that they may well have created their own Slenderman. All it would take is a few more equally well written pieces, and a few origin tales and I could see reddit coming to the aid of those. It really does strike a chord in a parent's heart, the level that denial will take you too. Hahaha, a strange thing indeed, a creepypasta for the adults, or maybe I would be safer saying parent's, rather than adults. Thank you as always for your amazing work, and the quality of that work. Cheers Stephen , Lee.
Hahahah, why should I not have been surprised to hear this was written by one of my favourite creepypasta authors. The great Matt Dymerski himself , I should have known it was no mistake that the author was as good as he was. Ah well at least I'm good at picking up on quality hahaha. Lee.
The light just keeps getting brighter Osiyo from Tennessee Lighthouse great work my friend
